Air Brake Wheel Speed Sensor problems of the 1999 Chevrolet C/k Pickups

Three problems related to air brake wheel speed sensor have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet C/k Pickups. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Air Brake Wheel Speed Sensor problem

Failure Date: 12/08/2004

When attempting to stop at slow speeds, the abs activates increasing the stopping distance and almost causing myself and my wife to rear-end the vehicle in front of us at stop signs or stop lights.

2 Air Brake Wheel Speed Sensor problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2004

Abs brakes activate at slow speeds.

3 Air Brake Wheel Speed Sensor problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2004

Problem with abs brakes low-speed activation with brake pedal going all the way to the floor causing foot to hit gas pedal in forward and reverse. This problem is what has called for a recall in canada and newer gm vehicles. When will a recall be issued to fix this safety hazzard in older model pick-up trucks? your site shows gm shows three incidents in 100,000 vehicles, well I personally know more than 3 people in my area who are having this problem. In winter time the brakes actually lock up causing the vehicle to skid. This appears to be more than just a cold weather problem. Every time I drive the vehicle (a 1999 Chevrolet silverado pickup) this happens.
